Monday Power Stroll

No, not a power walk, just a purposeful stroll down the road. I headed down a narrow track I'd seen on the opposite side of the creek, and followed it until it got too muddy to risk my ankle. The track appears to run along the back of some dead-end streets, and I came out at the end of one of these when I called it quits. Looped back around the shops, past the horses, and back through the sports ground. 3.6 kms.

pm: knocked off work early and got home to find that half my front lawn had been mowed! One neighbour also had freshly mown lawn so I went over to see who my good fairy was. Simon confessed, and offered to finish the job! He'd only stopped mowing because he thought my usual lawnmower man might be coming around - I'd actually planned to phone him tonight.

I then headed down to the bottom of the garden to finish off mattocking the ground. The neighbour over the back (the Sullen Bastard, because he won't acknowledge any of the neighbours) is building an extension to the house (as you can see from the birdfeeder photos), and the builder stuck his head over the fence to say hello. Turns out he's the Sullen Bastard's father, and a lot friendlier than the neighbour and his wife.

As light stopped play, I'd finished the bottom section - just as well, as my legs were starting to shake. They'd had a good workout over the last few days, as well as my shoulders.

And after some food, I did a light weights workout. My halo is glowing.
